pickI‘m slowly working my way through my library‘s supply of Anne of Green Gables retellings. In this one, the parallels were not quite as clear for all of the characters but I still ended up enjoying it. Chipper approves. 👍🏻 3.5⭐️

TGA - just as good as TG, if not better. I await a 3rd
TG - Vamps & human exist together. Very much a police procedure with a ending set up for a sequel. Was a very quick read
MOTN - Just ok. Like THATL, one of my least favs from Sager
HE - Cracking read! Probably his best so far
pickMy low expectations going in (based on another book by the same author) were not warranted. I was advised to give this book a try and I'm glad I did. This fake dating story in which a dare turns into a genuine connection is adorable and heartfelt while also touching on some tough family topics. I enjoyed this quite a bit. Also, loving the maybe demisexual/romantic rep. #LGBTQIA #FakeDating

pickIt‘s possible this is the book that proves I never quite learned to read straight nonfiction without a narrative thread running through it. I went into this very interested, and at times I found myself captivated by the piece of history being revealed, but then I‘d struggle to focus, or find myself wondering about the author, or about bias in the writing.
pickIt‘s published by Europa so I think I was expecting a bit more out of this book. Bowring does a great job of describing living in a very remote part of Maine - the sights and smells were accurately and beautifully described. However, I never quite truly got attached to any of the characters. Which is strange because their storylines were compelling. I might try the sequel to see how some of the folks make out though. 🤷🏻♀️ A low ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickEven though not everything is done correctly in this book (one difficult character should've gotten more attention and a real solution to her problems), I liked this book more than I thought I would. I was surprised by how much of me I found in Imogen. Same thoughts, struggles, over-thinking, questioning. There are some problematic parts, but I still think this work might help some people finding themselves.
pickThe book itself is incredibly funny, touching, and wonderfully written. I adored all of the characters, the setting, and the general messiness of the family dynamics here. The audiobook is a thing of beauty. Brilliant narration!
